Dinner: now I wasn't so hungry even though I waited until 6:45 pm to start making it. So I made a big salad but went easy on the ingredients. It had lettuce and arugula, 1/3 cup peas, 1/3 cup corn (from freezer, thawed in microwave), part of a bell pepper, and olives! These olives are dried, unsalted, uncured olives from Peru. I got them after reading strix's post about them. They are interesting. They are a little bitter. But they grow on you. I cut up 4 of them and put them on the salad. They are 100% fat, but it was only 30 calories. I see why they make oil out of them! I also put on some balsamic vinegar (Dr. Fuhrman's of course). Here's a picture of the salad before I remembered to some yellow bell pepper:

The black pieces are the olives. I also had a small bowl of split pea and carrot soup, 2 carrots, and 2 kiwis for dessert (I wasn't hungry by this point but these were sure good--I suddenly like kiwis).

okay so I got up above 1500 calories. But I feel like I overate at lunch (the snack and the extra cabbage salad) and maybe dinner too (mainly because of lunch). Oh well, I do know that 1200 calories isn't enough because I was waking up hungry. so maybe something in between is good.

About this blog

I'm sharing my experiences on what I prefer to eat. I am similar to Mad-Eye Moody (a Harry Potter character) in that, for the most part, I only eat food I prepare myself. How else can I avoid added salt, oil, sugar, refined grains, and animal products? As someone who doesn't like to be the center of attention, I try to do this as discreetly as possible. But I think they're on to me. Fortunately, none of them know about my blog.
